Funky
Mama's House is the latest set of tracks for the
sixty-eight year old Clarence Sims (aka Fillmore
Slim) legendary bluesman and pimp. After a five-year
stint in federal penitentiaries Sims decided to
make the guitar his mainstay. In 1987 the parolee/bluesman
recorded 'Born to Sing the Blues' under the name
Clarence 'Guitar' Sims. Man can this cat sing
the blues. The stars were perfectly aligned and
the blues gods were smiling on Filmore when he
recorded 'Funky Mama's House'. It has all the
makings for a classic blues CD; soulful vocals,
bluesy guitar riffs, moving guitar and bass lines,
and a bit of funk. After three listenings it's
still great. I liked it a bunch.
